Gregory  Retna 28 Pack

The Retna 28 arrived today, and stepping up from a comparable pack I’ve relied on for years, this feels like a decisive evolution. Its internal layout is remarkably well-considered: the main compartment houses my fifteen-inch laptop with room to spare, while the secondary chamber offers ample space for a charger, cables, and other tech essentials. The dual pen slots and the neatly situated mesh pocket near the top of the zippered organizer add a level of deliberate functionality that makes everyday carry feel almost choreographed. The aesthetic language of the Retna 28 is equally impressive. Its clean geometric lines and subtly reflective detailing create a modern, almost minimalist silhouette—something that looks equally at home in a studio, on a commute, or in an airport terminal. What elevates it further is the brand’s clear commitment to sustainability; the materials and construction signal durability rather than the typical fast-cycle disposability. It’s designed to survive years of use, not a season or two. The most unexpected part of this entire experience is how it arrived: a surprise gift, addressed to me, sent cross-country by my soon-to-be sister-in-law, who evidently knows my tastes with disarming accuracy. The Retna 28 exceeded every expectation I didn’t even know I had, and I’m genuinely thrilled with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] #giftedproduct Great for carrying a laptop. Small top outside pocket (zippered) perfect for phone and eyeglass case. Side pocket holds large water bottle. Center front pocket good for easy access items such as wallet, passport, etc.. I used this for walking to the recreation center or on a light grocery shopping run. it isn't big enough for both though. Chest clip helps distribute weight...great for travel. Suggestions: it would be nice to have 2 zippers, not one, on last compartment that I used for holding my laptop

Amazing bag! Well laid out and designed, with tons of room for any adventure. Pocket layout is ideal for many different uses, whether it’s a day trek or multi-night work trip. Would highly recommend! #giftedproduct

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So awesome! Works perfect for school. I love the laptop compartment and the padding on the back and shoulder straps to keep my laptop safe and my shoulders fresh. Definitely recommend! #giftedproduct

Good backpack. Only one water bottle holder and it’s on the left side. Not sure if it would work better for left handed folks or if it’s just not what I’m personally used to.
